update

Does anyone have access to a tool that an MS tech would use to update the model type on the UEFI? I purchased a refurbished Surface Pro 4 from a certified re-seller. It works great for the most part. I had a few issues with the touchscreen shortly after buying it and when I tried to download...

After a 12/19/2017 update I could no longer use the touchpad to scroll in Excel 2010. I assumed the problem lay with Excel and spent the last couple of days trying various fixes. Then, I thought perhaps a recent update to Windows 10 or the SP4 might be the culprit. Sure enough, as soon as I...

Tech Radar reports that Microsoft has issued an apology today for accidentally releasing Windows 10 test builds before they were ready. The builds included several for mobile, and just one, numbered 16212, for PC and mobile. What made the matter even worse was that the early builds were pushed...

Hi, i own a Surface Pro 4 (i5 and 8gb of ram version) since march 2016. I use it as a student and as a developer, and i'm pretty satisfied with this product, at least i was. Some days ago i received the creators update. My Surface runs Windows and Ubuntu (i need it for work) but probably this...

My SP3 video performance has gotten very glitchy since the last update. Screen remains black when trying to wake from sleep. The only thing that gets it back is if I plug in an external monitor and/or dock with a screen. If I don't have one available, I have to force reboot - losing all my work...

Hi all, Out-of-the box Hubs often need an OS update. That takes a while to download (every time) and some customers don't have WSUS. I'm installing quite a few and this delay usually means I have to leave and return the following day! Is there any trick way to download new OS versions to say...

Hello. I've got this problem of firmware update failing on restart. I get message of "Please wait while we install a system update" but just for split second, then it goes blank and restarts two more times or it goes blank and I need to play with power button or power and volume up button to...

So I would say 1 in every 5 or so boots the System Idle Process & System eats about 30% of the CPU's available resources...if I do not restart, the fans ramp up, the battery consumption increases 3-fold, and the speed of use is slower. This is not an issue with my machine or my software...it is...

hi there, I'm new to the forum I'm hoping someone can help! I have a brand new SP4 (i5, 4gb, 128gb) that won't accept the above update. i keep getting the error code 0x80073712, i have tried downloading the update as a standalone update, instead of relying on the automatic downloader, and i...

Hi All, I setup the SP4 today. Everything seemed to work like a charm until I downloaded and installed the updates Windows offered through the update function (not the 18/11 upgrade though). After a reboot to finish the update process everything looked normal. However, whenever I click Windows...

Hi there! After the TH2 update I recognized a much worse battery life espacially while sleep times on my Surface Pro 4 (i5, 8GB Ram). I read a lot about battery drain issues before but I did not have that issue. But now after the Treshold 2 update it seems to be finally there. I recognize about...
